Finally! Thank you, sir! Thinks makes sense now. All this time, the desktop option in preferences did not appear, it didn't occur to me untill I read your post that the icon in my gnome panel (default of Mandrake 8.0 f2) was set to run "nautilus --no-desktop". Now this makes sense and all problems solved. -Paul Rodríguez On 08 Aug 2001 19:13:08 +0200, Mario Vukelic wrote: > On 08 Aug 2001 09:12:27 -0400, paul rodríguez wrote: > > Thank you for the clarification, Mario. > > I agree that all those distinctions are somewhat stupid from a users' > point of view :o) > > > Running "nautilus --no-desktop" > > does not solve my problem as I set nautilus up during its initial use to > > manage my desktop during setup. > > Stange, my understanding always was that --no-desktop should prohibit > use of the desktop, regardless of what the preferences are set to.
